From the first conversation
to your first dinner.
Every Ookora is built in six steps. Four weeks of fabrication. On-site installation in up to 3 days. Two-year structural warranty.
Conversation
1 hourWe visit your space or arrange an initial meeting where it makes sense for the project. We listen to how you live, how you cook, what you need to solve, and what you want to feel in your kitchen.
Line and level
1 weekTogether we choose the line that best represents your home, and define whether your kitchen will be Essential, Plus, or Signature based on your priorities, equipment, and budget.
Technical design
2 weeksWe carry out precise on-site measurement, plans, 3D views, technical sheets, and material specifications. Every decision is approved together before we manufacture.
Fabrication
4 weeksEvery piece is built to specification. We work with high-performance laminated MDP, selected tops, certified hardware, and stage-by-stage quality control.
Installation
3 daysWe install with our own technical team, defined assembly protocols, and final cleaning. We hand over your kitchen with usage manual, maintenance recommendations, and warranty.
Life in the kitchen
2-year structural warrantyWe support your kitchen after installation. You have access to adjustments, maintenance, and care under the warranty terms.
What happens
inside the workshop.
We are professionals, not an ultra-luxury showroom: we’d rather go with the truth than inflate a promise. We work with closed specifications —what enters your kitchen according to the approved project and level— serious suppliers, and workshop control: measure, check on arrival, and test the assembly when needed. That’s where craft and years of teamwork show: the same criteria in workshop as on site.
- · Boards and fronts to spec: arrival inspection at the workshop before any cutting.
- · Hardware and mechanisms agreed in design, tested in cabinet at the workshop —not just on the drawing.
- · Lacquers and finishes with controlled workshop process when the chosen finish requires it.
- · Stones and counters: when included, selection and adjustments are checked in workshop before site.
- · Warm lighting (2700K–3000K) per design, with clean install and uniform reading throughout the space.
Up to 3 days.
Our own team.
On-site assembly.
By the time we get to your home, we already know every millimeter. Installation is executed in a block of up to 3 days with our own team. We clean at the end. We hand over a signed project manual.
What clients
ask us most.
How much does an Ookora kitchen cost?+
It depends on the size, line, and level. As a reference: a linear Essential kitchen typically starts at USD 8,500; a mid-range Plus project is around USD 16,000–22,000; a complete Signature with island starts at USD 28,000. The detailed proposal arrives after on-site measurement.
How long does fabrication take?+
Typical workshop fabrication time is 4 weeks. On-site installation is performed in up to 3 days with our own team. Very complex projects or Tech Pack additions may extend the timeline slightly.
Do you work outside Panama?+
Yes. We operate across the region: Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Miami. Projects outside the country require a minimum investment and are coordinated from our base in Panama.
Can I change materials within a line?+
Yes, within the authorized palette of each line. The idea is not to dilute the character but to adjust the model to your home. Changes outside the palette require approval from the lead designer.
What does the warranty include?+
Two-year structural warranty on cabinetry and hardware. Manufacturer warranty on appliances (typically 2–5 years). In-house technical service throughout the kitchen’s life.
What if I want to expand the kitchen in five years?+
Every Ookora is designed with a project manual. Measurements, materials, and hardware are documented. When the time comes to expand, we replicate without visible differences.
